play in the Olympics following the Brazilian soccer great's discharge from the
hospital. The former New York cosmos striker was admitted into Albert Einstein
hospital on November 24 on account of urinary tract infection after a kidney
stones surgery done on him on November 13. Pele, 74, said he is well and ready
to appear in the 2016 Olympic football gold in Rio. The three-time World cup
winner who had a kidney removed in his final period as a player admitted the

friends, the Santos striker further joked: "Now I am preparing for the
Olympics. Three professionals can play in the Olympics and I'm one of the
three!"
